This orchestral electro-disco/funk track features an anthemic chorus part with full strings and brass arrangement, emphasizing a heroic feel of this track.

“‘Survivors’ is one of Saga’s lead singles and features a compelling cross between electronic and classical music to create a world around Oe’s aural landscape. It’s a scintillating movement capable of weaving characters and a setting into place within the mind’s eye as you listen.”
(For Folk’s Sake)

“With a rhythm section entrenched in the electronic spectrum, soaring and anthemic strings and classical-inspired organ lines comprise the lead melodic force. The blare of brass around 02:20 signals a melodic shift, into mariachi-like territory — before reverting back into symphonic anthemic bliss around the three-minute mark.”
(Obscure Sound)

Reviews on “Survivors”

“With a rhythm section entrenched in the electronic spectrum, soaring and anthemic strings and classical-inspired organ lines comprise the lead melodic force. The blare of brass around 02:20 signals a melodic shift, into mariachi-like territory — before reverting back into symphonic anthemic bliss around the three-minute mark. Never dull, “Survivors” and fellow recent release “Storm Goddess” show Oe’s production-based power well.”

(Mike Mineo, Obscure Sound)

“‘Survivors’ is one of Saga’s lead singles and features a compelling cross between electronic and classical music to create a world around Oe’s aural landscape. It’s a scintillating movement capable of weaving characters and a setting into place within the mind’s eye as you listen.”

(Jonathan Frahm, For Folk’s Sake)

“Oe merges the dramatic and cinematic sweep of orchestral music with the enthusiastically rhythmic and dancy effusion of electronica on the 13 robust and rousing tracks that comprise Saga. The single Survivors showcases Oe’s adept merging of these two supposedly disparate genres into one entrancing whole.”

(Jen Dan, Indie Music Review)

創作手法にあえて制約や縛りを設けることで、よりクリエイティブなものが生まれることもある。これは作り手なら誰もが経験しているだろう。ただ、そうして生まれた作品を受け手がどう感じるか以前に、このアプローチ自体が目的化・教義化してしまったり、作り手としてむしろ満足できないクオリティに陥ってしまうなら意味がない。そんなことを、かつて話題になった映画製作運動『ドグマ95』を思い出しながら考えた。昨日の「度胸比べ」も厄介だが、「ガマン比べ」も大変だ。

AI研究者・認知科学者として知られるゲイリー・マーカスは、AIの進化の行方について数年前から強い警鐘を鳴らしてきた。炎上好きな彼ゆえ、その発言はある程度割り引いて受け止めるのが賢明だが、日本のIT界には「あえて現状を疑い、問題を突きつける」論客が少ない。いずれにしても、AIビジネスが「誰のテストステロン(男性ホルモン)が一番か」とばかりに、まるでカジノの度胸比べのようになっている現状こそ、まさにバブル(=行き過ぎ)だとも言える。

Mac OSが今で言うクラシック環境だった頃、とても個性的で、しかも重宝し、しかも殆ど誰も知らない(笑)音声合成ソフトがあった。数年に一度はそのソフトを再び使いたくなるのだが、Basilisk IIというエミュレーターとMac OS 7.5.3のディスク(!)などを用意して下準備をしなければならないため、毎回思い立っては即座に挫折する。OE『Physical Fiction』や『New Classics Vol.2』に収録されている曲でよく用いた。
